The answer depends on several factors: whether the soil is

(a) in a dense state (in the ground),

(b) in a loose state (excavated).

(c) voids (non-solids) saturated with water

(d) voids (non-solids) dry, or partially saturated.

(e) soil type is cohesive or sandy

Examples: Saturated (dry)

Very dense sandy soil 130 (115)

Very loose sandy soil 115 (90)

Very hard clay 115 (90) i.e, dense state

Very soft clay 105 (70) i.e. loose state

A reasonable value for garden soils is 120 lb/ft3 (+-5)
